yeah i do....i goto the gym 4-5 days a week, and run every morning...while lifting 20 lb dumbbells for burnout sets while i'm at work...
ps...never lock your elbows when your free weight pressing like that...not only can it cause a cramp, it can make your arms bow out and screw up your shoulders...always, always, always keep your joints bent...i know from bad experiences.

Ive been bodybuilding for 13 years, its a way of life for me.
Op, if thats you in that vid you need to work on your form a bit.
1. for overall development of the chest, put the bench on a slight incline.
2. do not lock out the elbows at the top of the movement, stop just before that point, that will keep the weight on your chest and not your elboes and delts.
3. for mass and sterengh gains do 2 sets of 15 for each lift.
Eat big, lift hard-

bodybuilding seriusly gets addicting lol ive been lifting for 2.5 years and cant imagine life with out it, and at perentie, high rep sets are for endurance and toning, size and strength packs on at 3 sets of heavy weight with 2-6 reps, focusing on proper form. but there are plenty of different ways to gain and i won't doubt your 13 years of experience just tossing out my two cents. personaly, eating right and lifting properly and training hard gave me the best results
just tossing out my two cents. personaly, eating right and lifting properly and training hard gave me the best resultsI do and have for the past 10 years. Watch your elbows if that's you in the vid. Avoid lockout.
As a general rule, reps in the 2-6 range develop strength, those in the 8-12 range develop size and anything above 12-15 works shape, cuts and detail. Everyones body is a bit different and will react a little differently to different rep schemes, but I've personally never been able to gain size from reps under 6. Strength and size are not the same, but it helps to boost strength first before trying to add size.
And diet is close to 75% of the equation. Lift all you want, but if your diet isn't up to par, gains won't be either.
